Raewyn and Charlie were lovely hosts and their cottage is a real oasis in Bangkok. It's quite a way from the centre (we found the river bus the best option but it takes about an hour as you have to get a bus to the pier) so if you're interested in nightlife it wouldn't be the best. For us it was perfect. Clean, comfortable, spacious, an area to prepare food and hosts who were there when you need them but not 'in your face'. We had a lovely lunch with Charlie, Raewyn and the other guests one day and really appreciated the swimming pool.
